"The Ways of Water" Art Show, RSM Cares

 I am very proud to have had two of my oil paintings juried into the RSM Cares Art Exhibit, entitled "The Ways of Water"! The call for entry for this show got a very impressive response, and the show promises to be a good one.

These are my two paintings that will be in the show:

Porpoises in the Wake, Oil, 7"x9"

A View of the Back Bay, oil, 11"x14"

Both of these paintings were made from photographs I took while out birding. The porpoises were seen while on a pelagic trip, and the other view was from birding at Newport Back Bay. Birding is my favorite muse!

I have included information about this upcoming show and artist reception. I hope to see you at the reception! The RSM Cares group is very active with the local artist community, so I'm expecting a nice crowd of artist and art appreciators.

Surfside Quilt Guild Trunk Show February 10th!

 I am very honored to have been asked to do a presentation of my art quilt journey at the Surfside Quilt Guild in Dana Point. I will be doing the presentation one week from today, on February 10th. I have posted below information about the location and time, plus a photo of one of my quilts that I will be showing. I hope to see you there!

Amazon Birds - Work In Progress

This is the project I am currently working on. It is a Fiber Art Wall Hanging of two Macaws. It is a Work In Progress at this point.  

Pears Conversing

This is a painting I recently finished based on a photo I took of some pears. I liked the way the pears were leaning, almost like there was a conversation going on. The painting is gouache on toned paper.

Happy Holidays!

I hope you are enjoying the holiday season. Best wishes to all of us for a wonderful and creative 2026!

This quilt is on display at the Sacred Threads Exhibition in Indianapolis, IN, until November 9, 2025. This exhibition is described as focusing on "expressing life's journeys, joy, spirituality, healing, grief, inspiration, and peace". The exhibition is at the Zion Evangelical UCC.
